Question A

[Jonetta]

The prologue opens with a little girl and her older sister Petunia, suddenly aware that a man is watching. It then pivots to present day. Did this scene stay with you throughout the story? Were you speculating as to who might be that little girl?

[Sandra]

This scene haunted me throughout. It says so much with few words. I knew something bad happened & kept thinking about it as I read.

[Robin]

Most of the time the opening scene doesn't stay with me. This time it did. I kept wondering if Petunia or the little girl would surface in this story or if they were dead.

[Moondance]

Anything with children stays with me as I'm reading the book. I was afraid for what would happen to the little girl.

[Jonetta]

Like all of you, that prologue haunted me until it connected and became clear.

[Sharon]

I'm with you all. It stayed with me. The whole time I was reading, I was waiting to see how the scene would play into the story.
